Answer:

The evidence that living things need energy to survive is: without the solar energy, plants will die.

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy is an important resource that can be moved, it can be transformed, but cannot be created or destroyed. Plants need solar energy (light and heat) to make their food through the process of photosynthesis. Then, the energy is converted into chemical energy. Some are stored in the form of sugar and some are released in the form of oxygen.

If plants become extinct, in addition to reducing oxygen from the earth, then the source of food for humans and animals will be lost and will cause disruption of ecosystems on earth.
